Disclosed is a grounding pattern structure for high-frequency connection pads of a circuit board. A substrate of the circuit board includes a component surface on which at least a pair of high-frequency connection pads. At least a pair of differential mode signal lines are formed on the substrate and connected to the high-frequency connection pads. The grounding surface of the substrate includes a grounding layer formed at a location corresponding to the differential mode signal lines. The grounding surface of the substrate includes a grounding pattern structure formed thereon to correspond to a location adjacent to the high-frequency connection pads. The grounding pattern structure is electrically connected to the grounding layer. The component surface of the substrate can be provided with a connector mounted thereto with signal terminals of the connector soldered to the high-frequency connection pads.
